The first group there is exceptionally stupid because of how Trump would be far and away more supportive of Israel. So letting him in goes against their purported goals.
I disagree, being complicit in genocide and pretending you can still stand for something is exceptionally stupid.
Regardless, you can't win an election without the anti-genocide contingent, so you should instead focus your criticisms on those committing the genocide and trying to extort voters into supporting it.
Luckily the anti-genocide demographic of the party hasn't backed down and the pressure they helped create might actually get Biden to step down at this point. It wouldn't have been a possibility if people caved on genocide like you think they should've. Democratic conservatives know they've over-extended themselves thinking theu could still do the same old "lesser evil" schtick and now they're scrambling to do their job.
Continuing to supply and cover for the genocide hurts support. Why must people "get over" supporting genocide to protect supposed american democracy. Why can't the party who claim to support democracy, stop providing weapons to countries that are found to likely be committing war crimes.
One ask seems easier than the other.
